Help Tom for TEP requirements

[Adam Blatner]

Dear Anne, which Tom are you addressing? Do you think Tom Treadwell follows grouptalk? 
I'm not sure--- or is it some other Tom?

2. who are the other people you mention? Are they interested in psychodrama and can they 
read or write in English?

  3. About TEP requirements, the best place to go is to the website of the American Board 
of Examiners in Psychodrama, Sociometry & Group Psychotherapy    website: 
http://www.psychodramacertification.org/
        But that's for the American Board.
    What kinds of certification are used in Europe? Is there yet an international 
standard?

   4. responding to your question: What are now (2009) the requirements to become a 
recognized TEP :  see above and comments below:

a. Number of hours,    about 780   but see the website...

b. small thesis,  -- alas, not required

c. to direct a session in front of 2TEP,     I think this is required.

d. write an article of about 10 pages that would be good enough to be accepted in a 
respected professional journal...
           Adam's comment: Interestingly, the American Board doesn't require this level of 
scholarship, which, I think, is a pity, because it is the lack of writing that led the 
publisher of our journal to drop the journal!  The politics of the American Board of 
Examiners is such--- in our community--- that requiring either a small thesis or an 
article seems to most American psychodramatists to be too intellectually demanding. If I 
read the tone correctly when I talk with people at the conferences, many 
psychodramatists---perhaps most---including many trainers---consider themselves "do-ers," 
involved in acting,  and feel intimidated by any demands that they articulate their 
continuing development in written form.
     I have suggested that the Board at least offer partial hours/credit for writing, but 
so far this hasn't seemed to be politically do-able.

        Anne S: . . . If my memory is good please answer to me and also to Colette 
esmanjaud as we would like to have  our french program of psychodrame training in Paris at 
the same level

   AS.     Please do tell me also if there is still a training program for 
psychodramatist at St Elisabet hospital, Washington DC

  AB: No, alas, that closed a few years ago and the whole psychodrama section is in a 
building that is devoted to Homeland Security and so the library there has been made 
inaccessible for retrieval.

    AB: And best wishes and great respect for all you've done and continue to do!   If any 
of your colleagues can write or read English, I would like to correspond, even if the 
English isn't good. I only took French for  1 year in college and je m'oublier tout ma 
Francais...

    Warmly, Adam
